Summary
01 MiCA’s post-deadline rules are shifting from licensing into distribution control, deciding which firms can keep serving EU crypto users. 02 That gives banks and licensed platforms an edge, as compliant stablecoins and wallets can reach customers through trusted regulated channels. 03 The open question is whether EU users stay on MiCA rails or keep seeking USDT liquidity and offshore access outside the perimeter. The first wave of concern centered on which platforms European users could still reach after July 1.
